Everyone should aspire to a cat’s understanding of healthy relationships

-they are vocal about their emotional as well as physical needs (alerting you when they need affection or entertainment in addition to when they need food), demonstrating an excellent example of self care and open communication

– they can enjoy being in a space with you while you’re each doing your own thing, demonstrating the healthy boundaries and separate interests

– they also like learning about what you’re doing and being involved in your hobbies (e.g. sitting on your laptop, cuddling while you read a book or knit a scarf or play a game) 

-they consistently enforce their boundaries. first with nonverbal communication, then verbal (hissing/growling), then violence (scratching/biting) when needed, demonstrating that it’s 100% appropriate to defend your bodily autonomy by any means necessary, even against those you love and depend on. 

-they demonstrate the importance of ongoing consent by respecting their ability to change their mind during physical affection and stop at any point

That’s a familiar and I am INFINITELY JEALOUS

SHE I SINGING YOU FOOLS. LET HER SING YOU HER SONGS

Is that Qui Gon Jinn?

*watches the video again because the cat is adorable*

*idly reads the comments in the reblogs, and goes to close the tab*

*brain does a credible imitation of a cartoonish screeching to a halt and scrabbling backward*

Plot bunny fodder. Right. *adds to notes on things that would be fun to add to stories*

I didn’t know cheetahs meow I’ve always thought they roar my whole life has been a lie

Ok but the other one is purring so hard

If I ever don’t reblog this assume I’m dead

Fun fact: technically, because of its inability to roar and its ability to purr, the cheetah is not a ‘big cat’ (or Great Cat) – they are still classified as Lesser Cats.

Also you haven’t heard anything until you hear them cheep.

The Incredible Nursing Cat

Rademenesa was diagnosed with an inflamed respiratory tract when he was 2 months old. He survived the ordeal and now lives at the animal shelter and keeps other sick animals company and tries to nurse them back to health.

Wow

This is beautiful

IM NOT CRYING YOU’RE CRYING

Cats are solitary and have no affinity for others.

Yeah, right.
